Interesting! Affordable medication.

I heard that Costco has significant discounts on medications, especially generic OTC ones. Curious, I went to check it out at their website (non-members of Costco can purchase stuff for a small surcharge) and discovered that the OTC allergy medication I buy (loratadine, the generic version of Claritin) is MUCH less expensive at Costco ( Read more... )

Anyway, just thought this might be helpful information for people!

Thanks! I'm a big Claritin fan exp. in the Spring.

Yeah, we use a fair amount of the pills, so this is a good find for us! :-)

Yeah, Costco was definitely cheapest for me. And their pharmacy is exempt from the "must be a Costco member" charge, IIRC.

I will offer one warning - if you do order it for delivery instead of picking it up, it might come with a broken safety seal. When I called about mine, they said that they order them from somewhere else and have to open them to count the pills. That made me uncomfortable, so I thought you should know just in case.

Thanks -- that's good to know.
